Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks for a redrawing of each graph to eliminate edge crossings while keeping them planar. Let’s examine how each of these graphs can be redrawn:
-
First Graph: The first graph shows a closed shape with intersecting lines in the center. This structure resembles a "bowtie" or "butterfly" graph. To make it planar, try moving one vertex outside of the current plane, which can eliminate the central crossing. Alternatively, you could split the central crossing by re-routing one edge around the outside of the shape.
-
Second Graph: The second graph appears to be a bipartite graph, possibly resembling (complete bipartite graph). To draw this graph without edge crossings, consider re-arranging the vertices into two rows, with three vertices on each row, and draw curved edges connecting vertices without intersecting each other.
-
Third Graph: The third graph resembles a cube or a square grid with diagonals. Redrawing this without intersections involves adjusting the layout to remove diagonal crossings. For instance, you could place vertices in a 3D arrangement (like in a cube) or use curved edges.
Let me know if you would like a more specific step-by-step redrawing of each graph. I can also provide a sketch or additional details to help visualize these planar configurations.
Would you like further details or sketches? Here are some related questions:
- What is a planar graph, and how can you determine if a graph is planar?
- What is the importance of the Kuratowski’s theorem in graph planarity?
- How does the concept of graph embedding apply to solving these types of problems?
- Are there algorithms to test planarity in graphs automatically?
- How can you verify if your redrawn graph has no edge crossings?
Tip: When redrawing graphs to eliminate edge crossings, try to visualize curves or bends in the edges, as this often helps to separate intersecting parts.
